Auburn head coach Bruce Pearl could get very good news in the near future.

Danjel Purifoy, a four-star basketball player who played at Bibb County last year, could make his decision as early as tonight, according to Scout.com. Winfred Jordan, Purifoy's AAU coach at ATL Xpress, told AL.com on Friday that a decision "could come at any moment" and Auburn was the likely pick.

"He loves the state of Alabama," Jordan said.

Purifoy decided this summer to leave the state of Alabama to enroll at Hargrave Military Academy in Chatham, Va. But Jordan believes his star guard is eager to return to Alabama to play his college basketball. The 6-foot-6, 195-pound guard is also considering Alabama, UAB, Maryland, St. John's and Michigan.

He is expected to officially enroll at Hargrave this weekend after participating at the Under Armour Elite 24 game in New York. There is buzz that Purifoy could announce his decision Friday night during the game's dunk contest.

Auburn head coach Bruce Pearl has been unable to have direct contact with Purifoy due to a show-cause penalty set to expire this weekend. Jordan says that assistants Tony Jones and Chuck Person have done a great job of recruiting Purifoy. He took a visit to the school this summer and told 247Sports at the time that the visit "went great."

He is rated the nation's No. 56 player, according to 247Composite, and was the top-ranked senior in Alabama before deciding to transfer.
